The conference will have an international flavour, with NP and MNP case studies from around the world, focussing on the commercial issues and costs, the technical challenges and consumer perceptions of NP, as well as considering to what extent NP is a threat or an opportunity for operators, and how they can use it as a marketing tool to increase both customer acquisition and retention. We will also consider how converged next generation networks will impact NP - what will be the impact of VoIP and Fixed-Mobile Convergence, and how can NP best move forward into this new telecoms environment?
